All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

-- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

I started picturing a bunch of Swedes tacking up turpentine cups.

Nah!  Guess not.

Maximum amount of oil in cedar is about 4 %.  It sells for about $48.00 per gallon.  There is lots of talk , talk, talk, talk,talk, talk, talk, talk, about building oil plants in Ok.  Steam distillation gets about 50%.  A supposedly new process developed by a friend of mine can get 100%.  He won't cough up the $60,000 for a start up machine, so I stay sceptical until people invest their own money.
I listened to a 70 year old professor talk about pyrolitizing the wood and get all the oils.  Seems schemey to me.

The oil plants in Texas and Alabama seem to be doing ok.
I am in the pink when sawing cedar.
